  • Helpful to know how my pastor thinks.

    So, I am blessed to have Josh as my pastor. Their podcast hits current and hot-button topics from a Biblical and Christ-centered perspective. So I know how he feels or believes about certain topics and he does not have to use the pulpit to share his opinions. He is the best teacher I’ve had in my 38-year walk with Christ. Bob Bowers

  • Enjoyable even for those without beards...

    Thought provoking and laugh inducing - what’s not to like?

    Come to think of it I do have a minor complaint... per Josh’s recommendation in a cringey European accent I did in fact use my duvet instead of my bidet and that has proven to be quite the expensive mishap. I’m running it through the washer for the 5th time right now so I’m hopeful but not necessarily optimistic. Live & learn I guess. Keep up the good work!
